THE  HISTORY 

Tyndale  University  College  &  Seminary  was  founded  in  1894  as  the  Toronto 
Bible  Training  School.  Later  known  as  Toronto  Bible  College,  it  merged 
with  London  Bible  Institute  (established  in  1935  and  later  known  as 
London  College  of  Bible  and  Missions)  in  1968  to  become  Ontario  Bible 
College.  The  Seminary  was  established  in  1976.  In  1998,  the  name  Tyndale 
was  assumed,  honouring  the  heritage  of  the  Father  of  the  English  Bible, 
William  Tyndale  (1494-1 536).  Tyndale  was  an  English  reformer  who 
studied  and  translated  the  Scriptures  with  a  passion  for  the  Christian  faith 
and  a  willingness  to  follow  God  no  matter  the  cost.  He  is  a  model  for 
scholarship,  faith,  and  vision.  In  2003,  Tyndale  was  accorded  university 
college  status  by  the  provincial  government.  In  2007,  Tyndale  received 
approval  from  the  Ontario  Ministry  of  Training,  Colleges  and  Universities 
and  from  the  Ontario  College  of  Teachers  to  offer  a  Bachelor  of  Education 
program.  The  Seminary  programs  are  accredited  by  The  Association  of 
Theological  Schools  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  (ATS).  In  2007, 
Tyndale  purchased  the  Morrow  Park  property  from  the  Sisters  of  St. 
Joseph  of  Toronto.  Tyndale  is  an  evangelical,  transdenominational  school 
with  over  1,200  students  and  more  than  9,000  alumni. 

THE  CREST 

The  crest  of  Tyndale  University  College  &  Seminary  displays  the  school 
colours — blue  and  burgundy — and  the  Greek  motto  douloi  Cristou — 
<^  which  describes  the  school's  vision  for  all  students,  faculty,  staff,  and 

[]  alumni  to  be  servants  of  Christ.  The  lantern  is  symbolic  of  Psalm  1 19:105: 

Your  word  is  a  lamp  to  my  feet  and  a  light  for  my  path.

IMMORTAL.  INVISIBLE,  GOD  ONLY  WISE 

Immortal,  invisible.  God  only  wise. 

In  light  inaccessible  hid  from  our  eyes. 

Most  blessed,  most  glorious,  the  Ancient  of  Days. 

Almighty,  victorious,  thy  great  name  we  praise. 

Unresting,  unhasting  and  silent  as  light. 

Nor  wanting,  nor  wasting,  thou  rulest  in  might. 

Thy  justice  like  mountains  high  soaring  above 

Thy  clouds,  which  are  fountains  of  goodness  and  love. 

To  all  life  thou  givest,  to  both  great  and  small; 
In  all  life  thou  livest.  the  true  life  of  all. 
We  blossom  and  flourish  like  leaves  on  the  tree. 
And  wither,  and  perish;  but  naught  changeth  thee. 

Great  Father  of  glory,  pure  Father  of  light. 
Thine  angels  adore  thee,  all  veiling  their  sight; 
All  laud  we  would  render:  oh  help  us  to  see 
'Tis  only  the  splendour  of  light  hideth  thee

DISTINGUISHED  ALUMNUS 

RAUNI  SALMINEN,  BRE  1994,  MTS  2008 

Rauni  Salminen  graduated  from  Tyndale  in  1994  with  a  Bachelor  of  Religious  Education 
and  in  2008  with  a  Master  of  Theological  Studies.  She  is  an  ordained  minister  with  a 
background  in  social  work  and  cross-cultural  missions. 

A  founding  member  of  the  Philip  Aziz  Centre,  Rev.  Salminen  presently  serves  as 
its  Executive  Director.  The  Philip  Aziz  Centre  is  a  community-based  hospice  program 
that  provides  practical,  emotional  and  spiritual  support  to  persons  living  with  AIDS, 
cancer  and  other  life-threatening  illnesses,  in  the  comfort  of  their  own  home.  Much  of 
her  hospice  work  involves  research,  community  networking  and  consultation,  program 
development,  recruitment  and  training  of  staff  and  volunteers,  pastoral  and  spiritual  care, 
AIDS  and  hospice  education  among  the  faith  community,  and  most  recently,  establishing 
a  residential  pediatric  hospice  in  Toronto. 

Rev.  Salminen  believes  that  the  greatest  expression  of  our  love  for  God  is 
unconditionally  loving  our  neighbour.  "We  may  differ  in  culture,  ethnicity,  values, 
beliefs,  faith,  giftings,  social/economic  status,  gender,  education  and  geography,  but 
we  are  similar  in  our  universal  desire  to  be  loved,  accepted,  belong  and  know  our  lives 
have  significance,  purpose  and  value.  To  be  loved  and  to  share  love  is  at  the  core  of  our 
humanity  and  the  yearning  of  every  heart."
